</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       These functions write the (null-terminated) character string <EM>str</EM> on the
       given window.  It is similar to calling <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> once for  each  byte  in
       the string.

       The <EM>mv</EM> functions perform cursor movement once, before writing any char-
       acters.  Thereafter, the cursor is advanced as a side-effect of writing
       to the window.

       The  four  functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument write at most <EM>n</EM> bytes,
       or until a terminating null is reached.  If <EM>n</EM> is -1,  then  the  entire
       string will be added.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       All functions return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success.

       X/Open  does  not define any error conditions.  This implementation re-
       turns an error

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if the window pointer is null or

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if the string pointer is null or

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   if the corresponding calls to <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> return an error.

       Functions with a "mv" prefix first  perform  a  cursor  movement  using
       <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
       the window pointer is null.  If an error is returned by the  <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>,  no
       characters are added to the window.

       If  an  error  is  returned  by <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> (e.g., because the window is not
       large enough, or an illegal byte sequence was detected)  only  part  of
       the  string  may be added.  Aside from that, there is a special case in
       <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> where an error may be  returned  after  successfully  writing  a
       character  to  the lower-right corner of a window when <STRONG>scrollok</STRONG> is dis-
       abled.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
       All of these functions except <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG> may be macros.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
       These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
